Ever since I can remember, I have always had a weight problem. As a child, I was the "fat kid" that would get picked on. Of course being the fat kid in school meant that my love life was pretty much nothing to write home about. I was never really that popular, I only have maybe a handful of people that I can actually consider to be my friends. I never participated in any school functions like; school dances, pep-rallies or even prom. I started acting up in school just to cover the fact that I was a miserable kid. As I got older, it felt like my life was spiriling out of control. I was just getting more and more depressed.
As a result of being overweight most of my life, my self-esteem was always very low. I never really thought much of myself. I developed Diabetes, Hypertension and other complications. I wouldn't go and hang out so much, I let life pass right in front of me because I was always so self-conscious about the way that I looked. I was never one to go out and do normal things like hanging out at clubs, dating on a regular basis or anything like that.
I decided to have the gastric bypass surgery so I went to Advanced Laparascopic Associates in Paramus, NJ to discuss my options.
